Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 299 — Two Heavenly Fruit
Xiao Fan's statement made the people in the meeting speechless, they had actually thought the same thing as well. Perhaps the death of Huang Zhang and Mou Yu as the pillars of the Sky Cloud Temple will be quickly replaced by another criminal.
"How about we ask the Emperor for help regarding this Sky Cloud Temple, they can't be left for so long..." Someone of them opened their voice, argued differently.
"Right, I agree, the Emperor can definitely gather an army to attack that criminal organization. If we don't attack now, then they'll attack us first." One of them agreed while the other nodded.
All gazes were fixed on Jiang Long, considering that the man was the younger brother of Jiang Qisha, they wanted to get his opinion.
"I'm not sure I can do it, right now the imperial government is busy against the Sun Empire. From the new news heard, they were gathering forces to attack the three empires..."
Jiang Long's words had Zhou Yuan interested in listening, he had almost forgotten about being busy searching for the criminal headquarters of the Sky Cloud Temple as well as the Heavenly Fruit to the point of forgetting about the threat from the Sun Empire.
Three years ago in the Four Imperial Academies. Liu Zhangyang as the Sun Emperor had attacked the tournament event when the Emperors gathered and were present there.
Liu Zhangyang wanted to kill the emperors in office back then in order for him to become the ruler of the Northern Mainland Continent. The Sun Emperor apparently did not attack himself, he obtained an ally from the Beast Man Race.
Even though the Sun Emperor's side was defeated due to the presence of the legendary beast, the Phoenix bird that came out of nowhere, they still remained a threat especially after Liu Zhangyang declared war on the three Empires.
"It really won't be endless..."
Zhou Yuan massaged his aching head, he was already quite troubled by the existence of the Sky Cloud Temple and now hearing the inter-imperial warfare, it was difficult for him to remain seated quietly and relax.
Jiang Long said it was best that this meeting should continue with Jiang Qisha, however the two problems that the Sky Cloud Temple and the Sun Empire could not be solved by an impromptu meeting like this.
Besides Zhou Yuan's whereabouts should also be taken into account now, Jiang Long would tell Jiang Qisha this situation after later returning to the imperial palace.
The meeting ended for two hours, Zhou Yuan did not go straight to his room after the meeting was over because Xiao Fan and Jiang Long first invited him to go to a lake located in the Xiao clan.
The lake was where Xiao Fan lived now, which used to be a place of seclusion for his grief at the loss of his grandson.
Xiao Fan hosted Jiang Long and Zhou Yuan with warm tea, Xiao Fan had obviously already planned this because it seemed like he wanted to talk a lot with Zhou Yuan.
"Yuan'er, Brother Jiang has already told most of your surviving stories, I want to listen from your own mouth when attacking that Human Beast Race, he said, what happened there and where did you disappear for so long?"
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, it seemed like Yifei had already told Jiang Long a lot when the girl reached the palace. Zhou Yuan could not resist so without further ado he began his story.
Zhou Yuan's explanation was not much different from Yifei because Zhou Yuan had previously told his lover to keep secret about those who moved the world through the portal mirror.
Zhou Yuan also recounted how they were wounded from the battle due to the attack from the leader of the Delta squad, Xie Bui, a Beast Human Race who had become a high-level Light Realm.
"Had I been with you, it might not have happened to Yuan'er." Jiang Long smiled bitterly as she recalled the assault on the academy.
"Senior Jiang, the attack was indeed too sudden, almost everything there was in a state of being unprepared to fight." Zhou Yuan smiled gently. "Senior doesn't have to blame himself, however it has passed and we are still alive today."
Losing Zhou Yuan and Yifei in the academy was a hard blow to Jiang Long for three years. He could only blame himself for not being able to protect Zhou Yuan back then.
"I want to ask you one very important question, how can you be strong so quickly in just a few years?"
Xiao Fan still remembered his meeting with the young man in the imperial palace, three years ago Zhou Yuan was still in the Crystal Realm.
"Ah, that... I'm just training harder Senior." Zhou Yuan scratched his cheek while smiling awkwardly.
"Don't lie, if only by hard training makes someone strong have long since many Light Warriors are born..." Xiao Fan patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder, gripping him gently. "Then, what about my grandson's current state, he's getting stronger too isn't he?"
"I saw her the last time Miss Xiao was already in the Light Realm with 3 meridians open."
"Oh, that's more than I thought..."
Although Xiao Fan was ready with Zhou Yuan's reply it was still that the red-haired grandfather was shocked after hearing his statement.
Being a Light Realm swordsman was not easy and required a lot of time, the most genius swordsman in the Moon Empire alone right now was Chu Guyu, he managed to break through to such a level when in his 50s, he had managed to break through, it was only natural for Xiao Fan that it was very surprising.
Xiao Fan glanced at Zhou Yuan's body to check his strength but could not see the level of the young man's ability.
"Senior, there's actually something I want to talk about as well, it's about the Heavenly Fruit..." Zhou Yuan hurriedly changed the topic to the conversation he wanted to say.
Zhou Yuan bluntly conveyed his mission as well as his goal of collecting the 7 Heavenly Fruits that had grown in the Moon Empire.
Currently Zhou Yuan only had one Heavenly Fruit in his hand, the reason he had come here was because he wanted to obtain 2 Celestial Fruits in the Xiao clan as the rumors had said.
Xiao Fan and Jiang Long were both shocked to hear Zhou Yuan's mission, in another sense the young man was currently asking for the Heavenly Fruit to be handed over to him.
"I know Senior may be this request is excessive but right now compared to grace, the existence of a Heavenly Fruit in the Xiao clan will actually wreak another havoc. Senior himself had already seen how the previous war had happened because of that fruit right?"
Xiao Fan did not nod or shake his head, actually without Zhou Yuan's explanation even though he had already realized that but was reluctant to accept his circumstances.
Xiao Fan agreed with Zhou Yuan's words, The Heavenly Fruit they found did not make the Xiao clan any better, even if their previous battle was lost maybe the Xiao clan was flat today.
"The two Heavenly Fruits you said are now given to Brother Jiang..." Xiao Fan glanced at Jiang Long. "Klan Xiao does not have the strength to protect the fruit, we leave it to the Imperial government."
Zhou Yuan now glanced at Jiang Long, the Emperor's younger brother was thinking.
"I don't think there's anything safer right now than handing the fruit over to you, Yuan'er." Jiang Long finally spoke after thinking for a while, he walked out of Xiao Fan's house for fifteen minutes before returning and carrying a box.
Jiang Long then opened the box, looking at the two apples but having a golden color, it was a Heavenly Fruit.
*This is what kind of Heavenly Fruit is? Actually in eps 1 already explained the shape of the heavenly fruit, try to reread it huh?
Actually I want the shape of the Heavenly Fruit to be like a durian fruit, the King of the Fruit, wahh it must be more electrifying not only one Empire but also four Empires at once. In addition to being more delicious, Durian fruit also becomes more filling to the stomach...
